@mariojacobs,

I like your poll suggestion,but I think it could benefit from a couple tweaks.

Dimension Films is an American film production company.

It was one of the American "mini-majors", i.e. small to medium independent television and motion picture production studios.

Dimension Films has produced and distributed numerous genre films, largely horror, sci-fi and action films.

Which is your favorite title released by Dimension Films in the 90s?

  • I think it better to use 1990s rather than 90s to avoid confusion, as there are movie titles from both the 1890s and 1990s. Plus, when you say 90s, you are really are literally referring to the 90s.
  • Plus, you are mixing your tenses. This is likely due to the fact the company exists in name only now, since its former owner, The Weinstein Company (TWC) fell into bankruptcy and its assets, including this nameplate company were sold off a couple years back. 
  • Plus, mini-majors are larger independent television and motion picture production studios that represent a second tier of about ten studios, they try to compete with the majors on the same arena as the majors, compromise of the big five studios, which are obviously in the top tier. The composition of these groups has changed over time, with companies moving in and out of the dstinct groups, as their financial fortunes and box office successes dictate.
  • Interestly, Dimension was originally created as a nameplate division of Miramax to produce films in the genres you mentioned. It served to protect the prestigious Miramax moniker, by allowing the Weinstein brothers to make movies that were extremely profitable, but not as highly regarded and just release them under a different studio name (a common studio practice).
  • FYC, Dimension Films produced and distributed fifty-two films in the 1990s, mostly in the horror, sci-fi and action genres.

@mariojacobs

FYC, you should take a second pass at their film list (see the 1990s Dimension Films pictured list above and IMDb 1990s Dimension Films search posted below), as you are missing more than a few notable titles in your answer pool and should be able to limit the answer pool to only those titles that have 10,000 or more IMDb votes or higher (real cutoff 15k+) without having to list 500 vote titles. Plus, your question hyperlink specifies a 1990s scope, but links to an incomplete Wikipedia list of every Dimension Films movie (all years). It would be better to use a targeted and more complete IMDb search hyperlink with a 1990s range. https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,documentary,short,video&release_date=1990-01-01,1999-12-31&companies=co0019626&view=simple&sort=num_votes,desc&start=1&ref_=adv_nxt

FYC,

Dimension Films is an inactive American film production company that was previously owned by Miramax in the 1990s. The Miramax nameplate studio produced and distributed fifty-two films in the 1990s, mostly in the horror, sci-fi and action genres.

Which movie released in the 1990s by Dimension Films is your favorite one?

@mariojacobs​ Personally, I think you made the right choices for the answer pool. Although, I am surprised 'Air Bud: Golden Receiver' didn't have more votes.
